New Wilson SFT9

**WillBrink** · 10-04-22, 15:46

The new Wilson SFT9 is laser accurate as expected, 100% reliable for first range trip for 250rnds. Always wanted a pistol from Wilson Combat. Me on the other hand, out of practice and rusty. Hate that.

Now that Wilson offered a double stack 9mm 1911 based gun I like, I can have my cake and eat it to as I loved my 1911s, but the 9mm double stack polymer wonder pistols just offered too many benefits to pass up.

When Wilson offered the EDC-9, I was interested, but really didn't fit my small ish hands and didn't like the ergos of the EDC-9. This new series using single piece of CNC aluminum, is almost as thin as a standard 1911, and feels good in the hand. As good as the HKVP9? No, but that 1911 trigger more then makes up for it, and I missed that that on the slide release grip that adds to the recoil control. The texture design locks the gun in your hands without feeling like 50 grit sandpaper.

That order process didn't take long.

They had them in stock, so I grabbed one forgoing any customization.

Well it still was a fast transaction. Just shows that those Wilson crew work diligently.

It showed up at the FFL far faster then I'd expected. Wilson always known for CS.

I wonder if Nighthawk would do an IOS optic cut on an SFT9..

The gun seems great. Wilson's optic cut leaves a bit to be desired. IOS is a much cleaner looking system that allows use of standard height sights

If not them, plenty of places will no doubt.

Good looking pistol.

Does it shoot close to POA/POI with carry ammo?
I run Green FO Rod in my FO FSs, I see that much more clearly/“crisply” than Red. Might try that.

Far as I can tell yes. I tend to pull left when I'm out of practice, and was. It was also more a reliability/function testing than accuracy per se. 50rnd of carry ammo (Federal HST 124g) and 200rdns of FMJ. I'd expect a 3k+ 1911 based gun from Wilson to be pretty dead on and assumed the left leaning rnds all due to me.

Red tends to stand out more in my experience.
